My dog got a bottle of .2mg clonidine and I don't know how many she may have eaten
Clonidine is a medication that we do use in dogs for anxiety disorders. The dose of this medication in dogs is about 0.1 mg for dogs that are less then 20 pounds. The dosage that Daisy may have ingested is more than tolerated one and I would strongly suggest to have her checked immediately by your local veterinarian.

Hi! I have a 13 year old cat due for annual. She gets real stressed and out vet prescribed gabapentin. I'm reading it can have liver and kidney side effects. Are there any other things that I could do without using drugs on her?
Those side effects are more common with chronic long term use. One to two doses prior the appointment will provide mild sedation and help calm her for the visit. You can try feliway spray. You spray a towel for the carrier and place a towel on top to help keep her covered

Will a small (.2 mg) dose of Klonopin harm an adult cat? He's in pain from an eye injury, and I'm afraid he'll hurt himself on the 40 mile trip to the vet.
I cannot actually recommend any specific drug doses to be given without examining your pet but the low end formulary dose for clonazepam in cats is even higher than 0.2 mg for a 7 lb cat. Good luck! Eye injuries can be super painful and I’m sure Sammie was vocal even before the injury!

Which is the better drug to calm a very anxious cat who has to visit the Veterinarian? My vet prescribed Acepromazine, but I've seen other info. suggesting that a Benzodiazapene such as Diazepam (Valium) or Alprazolam (Xanax) might be better. This is
Actually now the recommend medication is gabapentin. Ask your veterinarian for some and give it before the visit. With this the cats are just mellow, easy to handle and not as drugged as with the other medications. Diazepam is not used much in cats now due to it causing liver problems. Apromazine can make them sedate but doesn’t reduce the aggression. I personally don’t find Xanax effective. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for your cat.

Hello from Indonesia, Our cat had surgery for a bad infected wound. Wrestling in her cage, she broke open the stitches right after, and also hurt 2 paws. Another operation is planned soon, but no proper postoperative chemical constrain protocol h
Acepromazine and diazepam at appropriate doses should be appropriate for post operative sedation and relaxation. However, neither of these drugs provide any pain control. I would consider adding an opioid-buprenorphine is my preferred opioid in cats- but since it is not available you may want to consider hydromorphine or fentanyl (in hospital) or tramadol (at home). NSAIDs are also an option but these have no sedative effect.
